The initiative is a part of the airport to upgrade to Rockwell’s Arinc GLOBALink network that helps air crews communicate and exchange vital information with airline ramp area personnel, airline passenger services, ground handlers, terminal security teams and airport ground support staff seamlessly without interruption.
Arinc GLOBALink comprises data link messaging solutions, flight crew security and mobility services along with aircraft tracking and weather applications and has been in use at JFK since 2001.
This is the second collaboration between the two companies. Previously, Rockwell Collins and PowerTrunk had joined forces to install TETRA at Los Angeles International Airport , in the first deployment of the technology at a North American airport.
PowerTrunk vice-president of business development Carlos Fernandez had said during the previous installation: "TETRA is an ideal communications technology for airport and airline use.
